I tried Florin's example and I believe that's the one I needed to get my final output to be in the correct format. Thanks so much Florin! I appeciate the other suggestions and sample too. I'm going to try out tonkuma's code sample as well in another area. Thank you for helping me with this. I really appreciate the help this forum provides.

in europe dates are (generally) dd?mm?yyyy but the separator can be one of many symbols
/ - \ and so on.
best practicse is to use ISO date format yyyy/mm/dd which is the SQL standard
